2003 Candidate Questionnaire

Three candidates for mayor and 65 aldermanic candidates responded to a survey conducted in January 2003 by the AIDS Foundation of Chicago.

As a service to Chicagoans concerned about HIV/AIDS, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) surveyed 244 candidates for the Chicago City Council and mayor of Chicago on a range of critical AIDS public policy issues. While not endorsing candidates for public office, AFC regularly surveys candidates and publishes the results in order to inform people with HIV/AIDS, their service providers and advocates, and the general public about candidates' positions on an array of important AIDS-related issues.

In addition to the multiple choice questionnaire, which posed four questions on HIV/AIDS prevention, testing, and housing policy, AFC invited mayoral candidates to submit written responses. Richard M. Daley and Patricia McAllister were the only candidates to submit written statements, which appear on pages 5-6.

Only responses from those candidates who were still on the ballot as of February 12, 2003, are reflected in this report. The citywide election will be held on Tuesday, February 25, 2003. For information on voting locations, contact the Chicago Board of Elections at (312) 269-7976.
